2011 Map of Max NE

About this map

Township Cemetery serves as a central landmark in this portion of Ward County, situated amidst a landscape defined by glacial prairie potholes and an extensive section-line road network. The grid of rural routes, including 233rd Ave SE and 345th Ave SW, illustrates the persistence of the Public Land Survey System in organizing the North Dakota plains. Long arterial roads like 18th St SW and 46th St SW connect isolated farmsteads and agricultural plots, while the numerous small, unnamed wetlands scattered throughout the quadrangle highlight the area's characteristic drainage patterns. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the region's rural character and the enduring infrastructure of the northern Great Plains during the early 21st century.
